The HLBR (HESCO Lightweight Bunker Roof) is a rapid and easily erectable lightweight roof specifically designed to provide protection against indirect fire (IDF) weapons. The roof can be built on almost any walls capable of taking the load that the roof will impose upon it.
HLBR has a number of uses such as the roof for COLPRO, for living accommodation, or overhead cover for ammunition and explosive stacks. It is used in situations where there is a requirement for protection typically satisfied using timber or steel roofs. Shipped in a single wooden crate, HLBR has a maximum span of 3.3m and can be built by 4 men in around 5 hours.
